Sedation & Pain Control (When Clinically Appropriate)


We’ll discuss options during your assessment and choose what’s safest for you:


  • Enhanced local anaesthesia + topical gels
  • Oral sedation (by prescription, case-dependent)

    Sedation availability varies by case and medical history; we’ll guide you safely.

Nervous Patients FAQ

  • Will it hurt?

    Our priority is comfort. We use topical gels and modern local anaesthesia, and we don’t begin until you feel numb.



  • Do you offer sedation?

    Yes—oral or IV sedation may be offered when clinically appropriate. We’ll review your medical history and discuss the safest option.

  • Can I just meet the dentist first?

    Absolutely. Many patients start with a no-pressure consult in Leeds to talk through worries and options

  • What if I’ve avoided the dentist for years?

    No judgement. We specialise in nervous patients—we’ll rebuild confidence gradually with a calm, stepwise plan.
